Plane from Edinburgh forced to abort landing in Storm Eleanor

A PASSENGER plane from Edinburgh was forced to abort its landing after being blasted by Storm Eleanor.

The pilot of the British Airways plane was forced to give up the landing at London City Airport and instead veer away from the runway just before the aircraft touched down - a manoeuvre known as a “go around”.

A passenger on board the BA8705 flight recorded footage as the left wing of the plane rocked from side to side as the aircraft approached the runway. The video, posted on Twitter, then shows the plane ascending into the sky again.
